Tips for organizing support during a difficult time

  • Keep the purpose clear

    Explain who the fundraiser is for, what support is needed, and how family, friends and community can stand with you.

  • Share responsibility

    Add trusted treasurers and involve close family or community members so the fundraiser does not rest on one person alone.

  • Keep people informed

    Share important updates so family, friends and supporters understand what is happening and how support is being used.

  • Let support continue where needed

    If the family still needs help after the farewell, keep the fundraiser updated so the community knows how best to stand with them.
